Abu Nejme, a 21-year-old Free Syrian Army fighter, is carried by a fellow fighter inside a damaged building in Aleppo, January 10, 2015. Nejme lost his legs from a barrel bomb about six months ago as he was searching for survivors of a bombing by warplanes loyal to Syria's President Bashar Al-Assad on Al-Sukkari neighbourhood of Aleppo. Nejme says that he still fights with the Free Syrian Army.
